Rosa's eyes glistened, as a smile graced her face. "Oh." She said, taking up one of the cups and examining it in the moonlight that was peering through her window. "It's beautiful." Her tone was soft and gentle, truly a voice reserved for those special occasions when she was overwhelmed with admiration. Usually, this admiration voice took to works of art, beautiful sunscapes - presents. With a happy sigh, she looked back at Alces and smiled a bit wider, "Thank you, my friend." She said, leaning over to kiss his cheek before she turned to put her new set away. "It seems we always have presents for each other..." She trailed off. "Though, I suppose a bug isnt a present." Frowning, she looked across her room. There was one object that had never matched, always bothered her, and as she plucked it off its hold she moved to Alces again, "So you will have something proper. The colors don't match the.. the ambiance in here, and it is a true gift rather then a handme down. Take it with my eternal friendship, Alces." She said, moving to pass on the lantern.

The Fey was glad she liked the gift, and had been smiling slightly at her, when he wasn't distracted by the cricket in its little cage. "You're welcome." he began, and would have gone on to say something more, but he stopped as she gave him a kiss on the cheek. He was silent a moment, as he listened to her speak and shook his head, "No, the cricket was fine." He assured her as he gave the top of the small cage a light pat.
When given the lantern he smiled at her once again and went to place it gently on top of the small insect's cage; being very careful not to ruin it in anyway. He thanked her once again as he stood up so she wouldn't be the only one standing. "Thank you again Countess Rosa. It is a very beautiful lantern."

Rosa smiled, and gave a slight nod- resisting the urge to mention that she never really liked that lantern all that much. She sufficed with mentioning that it was simply far more masculine for her tastes, as she looked around the room again. "Well. It is late. If there isnt anything else..." She trailed off and looked outside the window, closing it, she looked at him again and nodded officially like, yet a bit uncomfortable.
I mean, honestly - she just realised something. It was by then, what? Midnight? Someone could walk by and find Alces in her chambers..
How..
Unappropriate.
Not to mention she had just kissed him, granted, kissed him on the cheek; something Rosa had gotten into the habbit of freely doing to...well, anyone she pleased, but how was she going to know how he took that?
Oh GOSH.. He's probably going to propose some shortlived courtship and marriage - or something just as darastic, poor man, I must devistate them ALL like this. I need to think about my actions here on out... This is truly shameful. Oh, Alces, please think clearly about this!!
So she was a bit nervous now, for a few reasons, though she hid it well. It appeared almost as if she was simply trying to hide something that might be embaressing, but not trying to be rude about it.

Alces began moving towards Rosa, and for a few moments it might have looked as though he intended to kiss her as he got closer and closer with a small smile on his face. However, in the end, it was nothing more than a friendly hug, as he thanked her again. He backed up some, and went to pick up the two gifts she had given him. "Forgive me Countess Rosa, but I am beginning to get quite tired." He said, and had almost yawned while telling her that. "I do hope you are able to sleep well." He smiled at her as he began to let himself out of the room, "And don't worry. I'll be sure to take good care of Bugsie." He reassured her once again, silently wondering if she would even care if something did happen to the small little bug.

Rosa's face twisted little by little as the man got closer and closer, and when she was hugged she just let out an 'oof' alongside an exhale of relief.
She has been about two seconds away from slamming her hands over his mouth and screaming something around, "ALCES YOU KNOW THAT ISNT PROPER!'" Before informing the man how if he intended to court her there were much more respectable methods aside from 'invading a womans room at midnight.'
She hadent, of course, realised the possible romantic value to that (nor the fact that romance was likely the last thing on Alces' mind in the first place) until sometime later. She bid Alces farewell, all the while a bit hurried like and relieved, though maintaining her posture and state of being as well as she could until she had closed him outside her door. She had paled alittle, not being able to handle these sorts of situations aswell as Filix might of - but was left to ponder over these things as she layed in bed and fell asleep.
End Session

 Participants: Rosa and Ursa. Plot: We Shall See? Session Start Morning broke outside, and Rosa's eyes slowly glided open. She must of stared at her cieling a good ten minutes before finnaly sitting up with a light groan, she streached her arms over her head and gave a small, dainty yawn as she looked around. She had yet to open her window again, and though she thought she had woken as early as she usually did - around 7 or so in the morning - she had slept in today. Well, after her little 'adventure' the night before, it was only logical. It was closing in on 11 am by Gaian standards, and as she came to her feet and opened her window - only to be greeted by the blazing son she almost yelped in suprise.
With light, 'nobleman' sorts of curses, she flew around her room in morning preporation. Oh, how long it took her to get ready. Having to unset, unbraid, rebraid, reset, position her hair... Apply certin makeup, make sure her gown was pressed and spotless. She was about in the middle of this, one side of her hair was braided and curled up in its usual style and the other half was let loose in looooong lengths of half braided nonscence. She wasent going to be too thrilled to have any visitors, well- atleast any male or important visitors.

Ursa nervously padded forth, her hands firmly at her side. Ursa had been up for a while now, eaten some and decided to go for a short stroll. But she decided maybe it was time to go and meet Rosa, she'd heard about her from Filix. "Maybe.." she whispered. So she did, making her way in small padded footsteps to Rosas chambers.
"I hope i just don't mess this up too," she tapped on the door innocently and loud out a huge sigh; 'here we go'.

"This has to be some sort of sick joke.." Rosa thought outloud, as she eyed the door. "Let me guess. Aesculus, hand in hand with the image of death? Perhaps hes taken scythe wielding and wants to share?" Classic images of the 'Grim Reaper' trode through her head. Oh how Ahnna had poisioned her mind. "Or maybe its Cervus, or Queen Lilium. That would be wonderful." She continued, sarcasitcally speaking to herself as if this were perhaps the worst morning of her life.
Which, of course, couldent be true. "Hello Aesculus."
She chimed, as she opened the door. When her eyes opened and examined the small person on the other side she rose an eyebrow, before cracking a small triumphant smile. "Or not. Greetings. Who are you?" She demanded in a semi friendly tone, as she turned around and continued her braiding as if Ursa's preasance didnt affect her.

Ursa shuffled her feet nervously, hearing Rosa murmering within, but not quite making out what she was saying. But when she did come to the door, Ursa was taken aback, she jumped a little.
"H-h-hello!" she said trying to smile back, "Ursa.. Ursa.." she repeated being rather fidgety with the bottom of clothing. Twisting it around in her finger as a source of support.

"Ursa, daughter of...?" She looked back at the young girl, expecting her to finish her sentance as she gracefully sat infront of the vanity mirror she did most of her primping in. "Come in, Ursa. Close the door. I won't have one of the men seeing me like this, and it isn't proper to keep guests waiting in doorways, now, is it? I am Countess Rosa, for formalities sake, though I assume you know who I am if your coming to my chambers? Unless your Aesculus' assasin?"

Ursa toddled in quietly, "Oh yes," she said, trying to sound interested, "Filix told me about you, I wanted to come and meet you in person," she said boldly. The nerves had frazzled. Popped off for now.
"Daughter of the sun court shaman, Curare," her eyes wandered about as she padded to the centre of the room.

Rosa blinked a few times, shaking her head. "Oh, I don't think Filix is the best place to hear of me, dear." She looked back at Ursa and smiled, "I see. Well, forgive me if I am a tad short... Im a bit unnerved." She looked her over, and then looked around her room, "Something catch your eye?" She asked with an eyebrow raised.
Really, there were plenty of things that could. She had all sorts of print-out paintings in her room, tuns of scarlet red fabrics decking her walls and extravagent sorts of decorations -everywhere.- It wasent cluttered, however, as Rosa did have an undeniable sence of style. Well, the girl HAD to have -some- gifts.
"Shaman. That sounds interesting. Perhaps you and I have a little in common, after all, young Ursa..." She trailed off, as her hair was finnaly set how she liked it, and turned to the girl. "I practised some medicine quite a bit when I was younger. I havent learned anything new, as of late, though..."

She gazed up in awe, "Your chambers are so beautiful," she circled around with her eyes once are twice before grinning goofily. "I don't think iam that good at medicine yet," she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and blushed a bit.
The room was beautiful, it had such a happy appearence, the warmth and welcoming was increadible.

Sure, Rosa's chambers were beautiful. They sort of... had to be, the darned girl would have it no other way. Welcoming, maybe... maybe if you didn't know Rosa all that well, and had yet to see the womans temper; and had yet to imagine what she would be like had any of her precious decorations been broken.
She grinned, almost in a compedative mannor- though she well knew that the likely hood of her knowing more or being capable of more then the future shaman herself in this paticular art was hopeless. "You will learn. I cannot serve the job. Blood, you know, it sticks to things." She sighed and made a 'come' motion to the young girl. "Yes, I have worked on the ambiance in here for a great deal of time." Her 'come' motion continued.

Ursa tilted her head slightly to the right, but followed the motions, wandering forth to follow Rosa. Interested. She held onto the bottom of her clothing material, as some of the hairs on her neck stood on end. Rosa seemed a little mysterious -well- in Ursas opinion.
'Lets just give it time,' she thought with a nod.
